Package: cowdancer Version: 0.17 Severity: normal
Hi, I am very keen to use cowbuilder, and it works great at building packages. However, after building a few packages cowbuilder will fail with the error Building dependency tree... Done ccache is already the newest version. The following NEW packages will be installed: fakeroot 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/95.2kB of archives.

I would prefer not to do this however, as fakeroot-tcp has its problems as well. I am unable to use this workaround with cowbuilder however, as fakeroot is not installed inside the chroot until build-time. I could install it permanantly, but that goes against the principle of these build helpers. I have had a look in the source for where fakeroot is being requested from apt, but I cannot see it. I did however see the Readme.DEBIAN note about possible problems with fakeroot. Is this the sort of problem that you had in mind? Perhaps it would be good to expand upon those comments in Readme.DEBIAN. I am not entirely sure but I think that it may have something to do with cowbuilder not cleaning up correctly on a failed build. Please contact me if you would like more investigation, or any patches testing.
